Chicago's Westin Hotel Picked for 1992 Convention
Illness Hits Ken Anderson,
Three Others in Portland
Four key members of the Scandinavian Chorus of Port-land,
including AUSS President Ken Anderson, were
laid low by arterial or heart problems following the
Convention.
Ken suffered two slight strokes after a chorus rehearsal
on October 15. He was operated on the next day for re-moval
of obstruction of the carotid artery in the neck. He
is at home recovering nicely with no apparent damage;
he is a lucky man!
Jack Zalaha, treasurer of the Convention Committee,
had a similar surgery shortly after the Convention. He
has recovered and is doing nicely.
Arnold Finstad, who was responsible for the Conven-tion's
Grand Concert stage set-up, underwent triple by-pass
heart surgery September 7, and is recuperating slow-ly.
He is still not able to resume his usual activities.
Our director, Stan Trogen, had a triple bypass and a
new aortic valve on October 5. He is recuperating at
home and is feeling quite well.
Our accompanist, Carl Jursion, is subbing as director
until Stan can resume his duties. This may have to include
our Fall Concert on December 8. Carl is organist at First
Immanuel Lutheran Church, where Stan is choir director,
and is an accomplished musician. We are fortunate to
have him.

Portland Convention Memories
Now Available on Video Tape
The Portland Choruses again thank you for helping
make our July Convention a great success! Even the hotel
staff told us the AUSS members were the most pleasant
group of people they had worked with. We all enjoyed
making new friendships and renewing old ones!
Many, many requests have come in for a copy of our
Fourth of July program and the slides from the Saturday
night Banquet. This is now available to you on video
tape. We can thank Arne Persson of Portland for having the

CHICAGO'S WESTIN HOTEL
Home of 1992 AUSS 100th Anniversary Convention
Spurred on by the truly outstanding Convention hosted
by the Portland Choruses in July, the Chicago-area singers
have been holding meetings since August to assemble the
elements for a Convention befitting the AUSS' 100th
Anniversary in 1992.
So far, by the end of October, the 1992 Convention
Committee had put together three of the major elements
—headquarters hotel, the dates and the site of the Grand
Concert—and was very pleased with its progress.
The dates are during an ideal vacation period. Wednes-day
through Saturday, July 15 through July 18. The Con-vention
will be headquartered at the Westin Hotel on
North Michigan Avenue, just north of Chicago's historic
Water Tower.
